Better Company

(album: Cynic's New Year - 2012)

The Columbia to the Puget Sound
From the peak of Hood right to the ground
Not and inch was dry, and every month's the same
Winter rains are coming to drown the coastal range
From Manzanita on towards Young's Bay
The clouds are rolling in heavier each day

Here it's hard to be better company
Where the hope or the sign of summer clouds your mind
From October through July it's the way it is

Stretching county wide and clear up I-5
All the towns are empty, everyone's inside
Not an inch was dry, and every month's the same
Winter rains are coming to drown the coastal range

Here it's hard to be better company
Where the hope or the sign of summer clouds your mind

It's known to the born and raised
Up the Gorge aways
There's a shadow, that hides the sane
In that shadow due east
It's sparer on the plain
Where the hope or the sign of summer clouds your mind

You see here it's hard to be better company
From October through July it's the way it is
